Although check-in is around noon on March 5th, you may arrive in Udaipur at any time and stay at any resort you prefer. Suggestions are listed under "Accommodations". We recommend getting to the area around March 3rd or 4th, which may require departing from the US on March 1st, 2nd, or even earlier. This will allow you ample time to adjust to the time difference, retrieve any lost luggage, and enjoy the trip without feeling rushed. For check-in, passports/visas will be required by EACH member attending the festivities. Please provide this information to the designated wedding planning team beforehand to allow for a quicker check-in. Each event will be at Raffles, however, the hotel you may be staying at may differ. Hotel details will be provided by the bride and groom's families.
If you are flying out of the US to Udaipur, the best option is to fly into: 1. Ahmedabad (Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport) 2. Mumbai (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai) OR 3. Delhi (Indira Gandhi International Airport) Then, from any of these airports, take a local flight to Udaipur (Maharana Pratap Airport).
As a guest, we kindly request avoiding yellow to the haldi. We have kept the color scheme as any other pastel colors for the guests. We also kindly request guests to avoid wearing red or black attire during the wedding ceremony.
Due to limited space, we kindly ask that only the guests listed on the invitation attend. If space opens up closer to the date, we will be sure to inform you. Thank you for your understanding!
The rooms during the festivities are covered by the families of the bride and groom. Please do not worry about reserving any rooms. Room assignments will be provided to you by each side of the family closer to the event dates.
